  • Patent number: 4709493
    Abstract: A device having a housing with two columns of windows and a date window adjacent the top window of one of the columns. A roll of paper is disposed within the housing, with the opposed ends of the paper fixed to separate shafts. The shafts are rotatably connected to the housing and rotation of the shaft moves the midportion of the roll of paper past the windows. An end of each shaft protrudes from the housing to permit manual rotation of the shafts, and the opposed end of one shaft is fitted with an end member. The end member has a conical nose and radially outwardly extending projections. Adjacent to the end member is a clock having a bar attached to the hour shaft for rotation therewith. The bar has a sufficient length to contact the projections of the end member, thereby causing the paper to move from one shaft toward the other.
